KPI Forwards Analysis – 2013/14 Downturn

After analysing the Most Improved forwards of 2013/14 in accordance with our KPI (Key Performance Indicators) members tables, we now cast an eye over those strikers who suffered a drop in frequency across a number of attacking areas:

For the unfamiliar, these Key Performers Indicator (KPI) tables are designed to use a series of key stats to allow our members to track form or change in player performance. By tracking the frequency of certain key statistics and comparing over two separate periods of time, we can ascertain each player’s form, whether it be an improvement or decrease in displays on the pitch. As mentioned in last summer’s introductory article, we’ve rolled out a preview movie which shows just how to get the best out of the KPI tables.

For the purpose of this series of articles, we analyse the previous two seasons as a means of comparison. The players featured must have started at least 10 league games and are listed according to frequency of goals on target.

    Netherlands and Germany have been the two most organized teams in the World Cup, showing their flexible systems throughout. Both teams have had games where they nearly capitulated due to being complacent and both have had their games where they completely outclassed their opponents.

    Argentina, like Brazil, are full of holes and have no business playing in the World Cup final if you ask me. The world's best player and a potent set of attackers that they can't even field all at the same time aside, Argentina have been pretty toothless facing far weaker opposition than Netherlands and barely skating by time and again with last gasp goals, never winning a game by more than a goal. Let's not forget that they're also missing one of their better performers of the tournament in Di Maria, even if he seemed to have left his shooting boots in Madrid.

    Anything can happen in a World Cup knockout match, let alone a semi-final, but logic and rational states that it is Argentina who is up against it, not Netherlands.

        Disagree though, just because they didn't score didn't mean that the only reason the game went to Extra Time even was thanks to the frame of the goal and Keylor Navas. Costa Rica did nothing against Netherlands but defend and were lucky to take it to penalties. Admirable effort but Netherlands could have and should have wrapped it up in 90 min.

      I think a lot of people are actually going with Masch for the reliable 8-10 points with the chance of more.

      I'm going with Robben for the differential, assuming Netherlands win. I suppose Messi would be the equivalent if you anticipate an Argentine victory...
